“If I were Schumer, my realistic goal would be to trade a real green card amnesty for the DACAs in exchange for several billion dollars of funding for the wall,” Krikorian told Morning Shift. “That would be a complete disaster for the White House, [and] that would be an epic failure of dealmaking ... I’m for amnesty for people like that. I just don’t want to give it away for nothing.”

Even Krikorian is rooting for this to happen. Come on Congressmen, this is the perfect opportunity! You're not going to get to pass that health care bill. After a fiasco like that you need to come up with decisive action on immigration. I would be willing to support stricter enforcement and even wall funding in exchange for legalization!
